Mr. 2.0

I was shopping for some shorts this evening and most I can find were a few large while the rest were XL, XXL and for heaven sake....XXXL. I found 2 mediums out the whole bunch. Then I was looking for a polo shirt and all I saw were a couple of large and a lot of XLs and XXLs. Damn....has this country come to this that the garment industries are making more XLs, XXLs and XXXLs because they know majority of the adult population are getting wider by the minute? I see kids these days buying XL shirts...and I don't mean the hip hop look but XL size because they are fat. Just the other day, I was in a restaurant eating a nice healthy salad and I decided to take a count of how many people are overweight. Now this restaurant is divided into 3 sections so I just counted 1/3rd part of the section where I was eating. Believe or not but there were 30 people in my section counting myself and 27 of them were overweight and out of that 27 people....13 of them were obese. That translated to 10% were not overweight, 90% overweight and 43% were obese. It's scary.
I remember a month ago, I met a man who visited this country coming from France. I asked him how he likes America...he said its great and he's having a great time visiting but one thing he noticed right away was people who live here are fat. He has visited many countries and he said by far America has the most fat people in the world...at least compared to the other countries he has visited. Now what strikes me was a friend of mine who visited France 4 years ago told me the first thing he noticed in France are the lack of fat people. And when he came back to this country he noticed how fat we all are compared to France. I think majority of the population know this country is getting fatter ever minute and continue to do nothing about it. We have an epidemic of people being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes...which has a straight connection with obesity. Now we have children who are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes which was relatively unheard years ago. We are raising fat and unhealthy children...we are quickly making this country known by other countries as not only the land of the free and the brave but also the fattest. Wake up america....we are getting fatter by the minute. Lets do something about it and let's get healthy and fit

From Cabo a good friend of mine who was severly obease and did something about it
Now we need to change something and I mean quick. I am overweight myself because of bad decisons I made but now I'm trying to change myself but if you have someone to tell you about what happenes when your little and a younger then maybe we could bring down the Obeasty in this country heck even in this world. People need help Obeasty is a diease and it very commom but it can be prevented and it can be cured. The only thing we need to do is get off our lazy asses and do something for once
For one point I know I'm not talking to everyone biut still for those who bully big kids are not cool. This is not right you should be ashamed of yourself. For another point you should help them out give them suggestions. nOW I know some big people say they like the way they are but really down deep inside they wish the could be skinny. I know how it feels, I am still going though this. Atleast I am trying to help myself, and I belive it time for a change and this is it.... We need to be helpers with people who want help, like I said to my friends if you would help me and they said they would and now 15 pound lighter everything is going good. So sometimes be a friend and help people out so will can deal with this nation wide situation.
Thank you
